My issue comes about when updates are done to the eero AP's. They will reboot, and my devices will pick up the first ones that come back online, which may not be the closes to them, thus the speed may not be the best. There was a "solution" of rebooting all of my devices, but in today's connected world, that is virtually impossible. Having the ability to be able to move a device from one eero AP to a closer eero AP is almost a necessity.

Wifi based baby monitor constantly disconnects when being passed around to different access points. My wife is ready to have me send the eero's back and go back to the old equipment

I am having the same issues with devices jumping from one eero device to another even when they are a few feet away. I would like to point out a glaring fact which has either not been mentioned or I missed considering this request/issue has been discussed for 3 years. All we have heard is “sounds great we will take it to our developers” and yet no such option exist. Also, eero support reps have been silent as of late. So to bring this back to the forefront, give us the option to assign to specific eero  devices. I personally have 2 eero pro’s and 2 beacons and except for one beacon that is in my sons room sitting no more than a foot from all his devices, the rest never have the same devices connecting and staying.  Please give us the ability to assign...

Agreed this is a real necessity. We've purchased extra units with the hope of assuring strong connections with certain devices in certain locations. Really annoying when they randomly grab a connection from the other side of the house. 

How is this, along with the ability to assign a device to a preferred band, still not a feature, 3 years later? 
 

I don’t get what is so hard about this? Eero recognizes MAC addresses, how difficult is it to set a preference for a specific beacon and band by MAC address, with the ability to change at will (by select new preferences and renew lease or something) if you do happen to move around the home? 

I have a Wifi doorbell and I know what AP it needs to connect to (and the AP and Door Bell don't move around :-) . Especially when I loose power at the house and then my door bell connects to the wrong AP (during the reboot process) ... So please get this feature implemented. Much appreciated @eero

This would be an amazing feature. Either this or block devices from specific Eeros. 

We have a situation with my laptop, I connect it via HDMI to the bedroom TV so I can watch shows in my home country via a VPN. It has endless troubles with buffering and connecting, even though it works fine if I watch it from my hardwired laptop in the office. It will start streaming, and then pause, and when I check, the whole connection has dropped - it stays like that for a minute and then it reconnects, often to the other Eero to the one it was just on. The office hub is further away, but is wired and probably a stronger connection, but the gym leaf is right beneath the bedroom. There's no option to hardwire the laptop, plus like... it's a laptop, I shouldn't NEED to. We have a 3100 sq foot split level house, an Eero pro and two beacons, and nothing else has trouble getting adequate juice from all points in the house.

I called Eero support this morning but they were very little help. I didn't even get taken through any steps to reset devices or look at settings/locations of the beacons to make sure things were set up optimally. The guy was just like "there's not much you can do" and toggled on a setting that should encourage it to connect to the stronger one (spoiler: it didn't do anything, it still jumped between the two).

All of this could be solved if the app would allow me to say "let my laptop use the connection from this one".

Also, kinda bummed out about my support experience - I'd read great things and was sure I was going to get some kind of solution, but it left me feeling like no one cares and I just have to deal with it myself.
